1 John 4:7-11
71Beloved, let’s 2love one another; for love is from God, and 3everyone who loves has been 4born of God and 5knows God.
8The one who does not love does not know God, because 6God is love.
9By this the love of God was revealed 78in us, that 9God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.
10In this is love, 10not that we loved God, but that 11He loved us and sent His Son to be 12the 13propitiation for our sins.
1114Beloved, if God so loved us, 15we also ought to love one another.
